It would have been better if...


the movie just ends with the kiss in the train as a kind of paradise for Colter after his death. No parallel universes, that ending ruined the movie for me.

Yeah I thought that was the end of the movie too. It would have been nice. But I guess they wanted more than just a "nice" ending. Both works for me either way

You don't think it's creepy that someone is living someone else's life in an alternate reality? This guy now has to pretend to know Sean's family, friends and work. Plus the girl seemed to really like Sean for awhile but a totally different personality asked her out. She's fallen for someone totally different.

If it ended on the kiss, that's more of a "happily ever after" scenario. Yes, he's happy because he's alive in this reality, but I think it's a lot cooler and a bit creepy that he's now taken over someone else's life completely. It's a cool sci-fi twist and a little villainous.

Uh - no! Colter didn't force his way into Christina's life, she is clearly attracted to him, perhaps more so than the original Sean. And let's cut Colter some slack. Remember his actions have saved millions of people's lives and I can't see how becoming the new Sean is "villainous". Sean only ever had a dead end future the minute he stepped on the train.🐭
